CIA: Al Qaeda Attack Imminent

Remember the good ol’ days of when every terror alert was further evidence of a Bushian conspiracy to abolish the Constitution and impose fascism and martial law on us? What a difference an election makes!

CIA CHIEF, LEON PANETTA: AL QAEDA POISED TO ATTACK U.S.

Al Qaeda can be expected to attempt an attack on the United States in the next three to six months, senior U.S. intelligence officials told Congress on Tuesday.

The terrorist organization is deploying operatives to the United States to carry out new attacks from inside the country, including “clean” recruits with a negligible trail of terror contacts, CIA Director Leon Panetta said. Al Qaeda is also inspiring homegrown extremists to trigger violence on their own, Panetta added.

“There is the opportunity and chance that al qaeda will be sending networked individuals, trained individuals in particular from the regional affiliates but there’s also the potential of radicalized inspired lone wolves trying to attack using simple methods,” said CBS News security analyst Juan Zarate.

As you can see, Obama’s victory in ’08 comes with a silver lining. Just as it took a Nixon to visit China, for Libs at least, it takes a Dem president to fight terror. Ah, the power of those mind-altering paradigms!
